Genesis 4 holds (perhaps) the first homicide case. The plot plainly describe that Cain offered plantation to GOD, and Abel offer firstling of the flocks to GOD. GOD had chosen Abel’s offering. Cain got mad, but GOD has previously warned Cain, and however, Cain killed Abel, who happened to be his younger brother. A deeper look through previous chapters will reveal many facts that will enrich the plot.
The Setup
Genesis 1, GOD has created the earth and sky objects. Genesis 2, GOD has prepared the garden in the east of Eden and placed the very first Man and Woman, who GOD created. Genesis 3, Man and Woman have fallen into sin by directly disobeying GOD and choose to follow the snake (indicated as evil).
Genesis 3 : 17 GOD put the curse on the ground, and with sorrow (KJV, Young’s Literal Translation, LITV | Jay P Green Literal Translation), toil (Amplified, ASV, NASB, NIV), struggle to scratch a living (NLT), and painful (Message), the human will eat from anything produced by the ground
Genesis 3 : 18 introducing the presence of thorns and thistles, will be grown from the ground, and the food for human is the vegetation from the ground
Genesis 3 : 19 human will eat bread with sweat until die
Genesis 3 : 21 the first thing, GOD physically puts down HIS hand to kill animal and make clothes from animal skin to cover human.
Genesis 3 : 24 GOD drove the man and woman out of Eden. GOD placed Cherubim, with the flaming fiery sword, at the east of Eden (refer to Genesis 2 : 8, GOD planted the garden in the east of Eden and placed the man there). There was a place called Eden. At the eastern part, GOD planted a garden and placed the Man (Genesis 2 : 8). Then the man was cast out from Eden (Genesis 3 : 23). GOD put guardian at the eastern part of the Eden (Genesis 3 : 24). Hypothetically assumed, that the Man and Woman was use the eastern part of the Eden as the exit, and at the exit point, GOD put guardian. No text in the Bible indicating the northern, southern, and western part of the Eden.
Genesis 2 : 10 states that a river went out from Eden, become 4 heads, to water the garden:
- Pison goes to Havilah. The place of gold, bdelium, onyx
- Gihon goes to Ethiopia
- Hidekel (Tigris) goes to East Assyria
- Euphrates
Many works regarding exact place of Eden has been in controversies involving inter-disciplinary scholars. Does Eden refers to the inter-dimensional time space relative to human, also unknown. After big flood of Noah, the where about of Eden may be assumed buried in the ocean.
Cain
Genesis 4 : 1 states the birth of Cain, whose parents was Adam and Eve. Knowing the story from his parents, in Genesis 1 : 29, that fruit of tree will be human’s meat, Cain worked tilled the ground to produce fruit for eat.
Genesis 4 : 3 states that Cain brought the food as offering for GOD.
Genesis 4 : 5 states that Cain’s offering was refused by GOD and has made Cain angry.
Genesis 4 : 6 to 7 states that GOD communicate to Cain. GOD mentioned through question that if Cain was doing well, surely will be an acceptance. GOD also mentioned the warning regarding the craving of sin on Cain, and Cain must ruled over sin.
Genesis 4 : 8 states that Cain chose to kill his younger brother, Abel
Genesis 4 : 9 states the typical question asked by GOD, "where", which elusively does not relate with the spatial geographical location (latitude, longitude, altitude) of Earth in its space-time continuum. The "where" question asked by GOD to Cain was directed to Cain’s logical where about, which has made Cain realized that Cain (as the firstlings and oldest son in the family) should be the brother’s keeper, the one who cares to his own younger brother, as later replied to GOD.
Genesis 4 : 11 to 12 states the curse for Cain as lifetime punishment by GOD. Cain will not be able to bring forth fruits from tree on the land he will work, but Cain will be the wanderer from land to land.
Genesis 4 : 13 to 14 states the acceptance of punishment by Cain. Cain knew that Cain was cast out from the land, from the presence of GOD, and Cain realize that every person he will encounter will try to annihilate him. Therefore Cain made his own defend to GOD.
Genesis 4 : 15 states GOD agree to Cain’s defendant and put a mark on Cain as a warning that will be avenged sevenfold to those who kill Cain.
Genesis 4 : 16 states that Cain went away from GOD and dwell at Nod, the east of Eden. No text in the Bible describe anything regarding north, south, and west of Eden.
Abel
Genesis 4 : 2 states that after Cain, Adam and Eve bore again Abel. Cain job was farmer (tiller of the ground), and Abel was shepherd.
Genesis 4 : 4 states that Abel brought firstlings of the flock together with the fat. GOD respected Abel’s offering.
Genesis 4 : 8 Abel was killed by Cain
Genesis 4 : 10 Abel’s blood cried to GOD.
Mysteries
The true reason why GOD refused Cain offering has remained a mystery. The Bible only stated that Cain was not doing well enough (Genesis 4 : 7). Cain perceived the command of GOD to grow vegetation that will later produce fruits as the food that will become the meat for human.
After the fall of Man and Woman, GOD showed that the sacrifice is needed for covering sin, displayed by GOD sacrificing animal to take the skin for covering the naked Adam and Eve. GOD likes sacrifices, this was perceived by Abel, that do the work as shepherd.
Experience indicates that Sunkist Oranges, bought with the label "Last Lane" is the best of all, "Last Lane" is the latest lane where the Sunkist oranges were picked up from the tree. The Bible does not indicate in detail regarding Cain’s offering, what kind of fruits, taken from what kind of tree, the Bible only indicates that whatever Cain did, not well enough. Cain made offering to GOD from the work of his hand as farmer. The work that Cain did bear fruit from the cursed ground. What Cain probably thought was that the successful work that Cain did has bear fruit, and that was offered to GOD. Perhaps, hypothetically assumed, GOD did not want the Cain sacrifice because of it comes from the cursed ground, like offering the fruit of the cursed back to the creator. If so, Cain has no other choice to offer the works of his hand, because Cain was a farmer. In the end, the Bible only indicates that Cain was not do well enough. Comparing with the offering of Abel, Bible did not indicate that offering from Cain is the firstlings.
When the parents, Adam and Eve, told the story of creation (assumed that the story told as the one written in the Bible, additional information was regarded), to Cain and Abel. Abel perceived that GOD loves animal sacrifice, and the sacrifice is to covering the effect of sin. Therefore (assumed) Abel chose to become shepherd. The offering of Abel, according to the Bible, were the firstlings and fatty. GOD loves it, as the Bible indicates. Indication perceived from the Bible (although it was not clearly written) was that Abel firstlings were all born normal and all fatty. None even one of them was born defective.
Conclusion
Regardless the matter of what kind of fruit that Cain brought before GOD as offering, GOD said to Cain that what Cain did was not well enough. Bible only indicates that Abel brings the firstlings and fatty offering in comparison to Cain’s offering which is not written in detail. It can be assumed that perhaps the attitude of heart of Cain was not as good as Abel in facing GOD as King offering sacrifices. And perhaps Abel possess the knowledge of what are the things that delighted GOD, while Cain (perhaps) only focus to the "things must to accomplish" regardless the condition of heart in offering sacrifices before GOD the King and Creator of all things.
The Fall of Man is one of the classical largest discussion that attracts many opinions ranging from skeptics and optimists. Suppose, Genesis 3, is told simply, the fall of man is indicated at the moment Adam eat the forbidden fruit. However, a lot of things happened to cause Adam eats the forbidden fruit. Genesis 3 is not stand alone, therefore, it is necessary to look backward to the verses precede Genesis 3, to draw the technical aspects.
Genesis 2 : 5 states that the vegetation has not yet grow, because GOD has not yet cause the rain and there was no man to work on the ground. Genesis 2 : 6 states that GOD caused the mist to go up from the stream on the ground to cause rain to water the vegetation. It gives clear pictures that all the nature is belong to GOD while man do the physical works as the partner of GOD. Genesis 2 : 7 GOD creates man with the characteristic of physical properties building block is from the dust of the ground with the "breath" of GOD. "Breath" in the verse indicates the very being of GOD is given to man, adding more dimensions to the man. Genesis 1 : 26 to 27 tells the creation of man in HIS own image. By connecting Genesis 1 and 2, the "breath" in Genesis 2 indicates the inheritance given to the man to have the Godly characteristic in doing physical work as the partner of GOD, and enables man in the limited dimension to communicate to GOD the Creator in other dimension. Also it may draw assumption that the "breath" given to the man, adds the capability to reach other metaphysical dimensions (related to GOD the creator) beyond physical spatial and temporal dimension. Genesis 2 : 8 states that only at the east side of the garden is called Eden and man was placed there. Northern, Southern, and Western part of the garden along with the dwellers were not well documented.
Genesis 2 : 9 states that GOD make the vegetation pleasant to eyes, good for food, and an announcement that there is a tree of knowledge to know good and evil in the middle of the Eden. The function of the tree of knowledge, its forbidden reason (beyond the reason to know good and evil), relation to the sin committed to GOD (beyond disobey), and the realization perceived by GOD regarding HIS creation that will committed sin in relation with placing the tree of knowledge that will be consequenced by the separation of the Creator with the created man, did not well documented and require extensive studies to know the heart of GOD.
Genesis 2 : 15 to 17 states the command from GOD to man regarding the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil, that the man may eat from any tree except the tree of knowledge in the center of the Eden. Then GOD creates woman out of man. Notice the timing, sequentially, that GOD creates the man, GOD gave the man warning, GOD creates the woman, GOD brings the woman to the man. The omnipresent of GOD extend beyond human spatial dimension, it extend to the temporal beyond human dimension. By this, GOD has known that human will choose to disobey GOD by eating from the forbidden tree. The reason of all complicated creation by creating human, all the vegetation that pleasing eyes including the forbidden tree, and the rule not to eat the forbidden tree, did not plainly stated in the Bible. Even the reason that the forbidden tree exists did not plainly stated as well. Regardless extensive discussion, the main rule stated that the moment the man eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge, the man will know good and evil, and die. How the death relates to the skill attained of knowing good and evil? Logically, physical death may be irrelevant to the context when relating to the knowledge attained. Then the only logical assumption is that the spiritual death. Notice in Genesis 2 : 22 when GOD creating woman out of man. GOD brought the woman to man, and man called woman, because it is built from man. The verse gives clear picture that GOD and man seeing and communicating each other in the Eden. This may be assumed that language has been developed, although "writings" had not yet been stated in the Genesis 3 together with "record keeping". When GOD created man and blew the breath of GOD in man, the very being of GOD was infused in the man, and the verses written that GOD and man talk to each other face to face. This indicates that man was inherited something beyond both spatial and temporal physical properties, an inter-dimensional experience piercing through metaphysical domains of GOD. All the very being of man was to know GOD, to know all about good, none of what-so-ever regarding bad. It can be assume that the nullification of knowledge of bad made the initial human only do good. The biologists quarantine the outbreak in the biohazard containment chamber which is perfectly sealed, in order to limit the defected area not to be exposed to the clean area. The area in which categorized as clean is where the normal population dwells, which generally not knowing the outbreak. The area in which categorized as biohazard, is distant from population and full of barricade and informational boards stated that the area is off limits. In Genesis 3, when human is exposed to the knowledge of good and bad, it is actually focused on the exposure to the knowledge of bad, similar case when a person is exposed to the biohazard. The action taken is to remove the exposed subject from the clean area, which the main reason is to stop the further exposure by the exposed subject to other subjects. The physical properties remain, while the extensive care to cure the contaminated subject is focus on the biological properties. Therefore, the expel, which causing the spiritual death and dis-relationship between GOD and man, due to the contamination of knowledge of bad, was deemed necessary, perhaps, to stop the further contamination caused by contaminated human.
When GOD created man, GOD gave order to man regarding the forbidden tree with the consequences. Then GOD created woman, and brought the woman to man. GOD did not tells anything to the woman, instead GOD brought the woman to man. It is the duty of the man to tell the woman all the rules which the man perceived from GOD. The governmental structure introduced is Monarch with GOD as the King and man as the GOD subordinate and woman as the man subordinate. The authority type exercised was Military, in which GOD expect the man to do all HIS commands, and not to discuss it. Later on the Bible, the human may suggest many things, but the final word is from GOD and man have to comply, and upon failing to comply will be punishable by death, because it is taken as challenging the authority of GOD the King. Never in the Bible indicates the governmental type of Democracy, where everything to be discussed and serve the favor of people.
Genesis 3 : 1 indicates the characteristic of serpent as: subtle (KJV, Amplified, Young’s Literal Translation) Selection” target=”_blank” href=”http://biblestore.theinatural.info/?page_id=146″>Young’s Literal Translation, ASV), crafty (Amplified, NASB, NIV), cunning (LITV | Jay P Green Literal Translation), clever (Message), shrewd (NLT), which has the properties of charming, extreme intelligence, possess the high skill in computation, remarkable in deception, elusive, hard to plainly perceived, full of hidden agenda, selfish, work to spread infectious injurious effects, likely to penetrate with the characteristics of quickly to creep. The serpent told the woman, not the man, that all the fruits from all tree GOD has forbade to eat. The serpent brought the name of GOD on top on false command.
Genesis 3 : 2 to 3 stated that the woman said that GOD permitted to eat all food except the one from the forbidden tree. Surely the woman perceived the command from the man, because previously GOD did not tell anything to the woman, GOD commanded the man, and logically, the man passed the command to the woman, so that the woman knew. Notice that the woman mentioned GOD as the source who gave the command, which indicates the proper referencing made by man.
Genesis 3 : 4 to 5 pictures the effort of the serpent regarding its characteristics to manipulate the command from GOD to be discussed. Then the verse 5 the serpent is presented the charming outcome upon eating the fruit from the forbidden tree. When GOD commands the man, GOD presented Himself with the capacity of a King. Then the man pass the command to the woman, as the messenger, the man present himself with the capacity of an Ambassador, as the proxy reflecting the GOD as King. The governmental system was Monarchy and the command structure exercised was Military as previously presented. The serpent had tried to infuse the other system of governmental by challenging the command to discussion for the benefit of the man and woman. By this, the King authority has been challenged, and it is wrong. It is interesting to know that there was a talking serpent, the serpent who possess the human language and communication skill in highest level and very skillfully, enough to transform GOD command into arguable discussion topic.
Genesis 3 : 6 relates to the Genesis 2 : 9 that all vegetation created by GOD is pleasant to eyes. In addition to that, the woman follow the serpent idea, and without knowingly, challenge the GOD authority as King. To make the thing worse, the woman gave to man. The man who knew command first handed through the continuous relationship with GOD had failed to function as the Ambassador of GOD for the woman, and choose to take woman advice to eat. The chain of command has been altered, both man and woman had put the authoritative command from GOD into arguable discussion topic introduced by the serpent.
Genesis 3 : 9 interestingly GOD questioned the man with the word "where". GOD who knows all things, surely did not ask the geographic question regarding whereabout the man and the woman. The question "where" logically assumed to question the logical status of man and woman, which authority you have followed? GOD or the serpent?
Genesis 3 : 12 to 14 may indicates the first political arguments. Verse 12 the man replied to GOD by blaming the woman. Interesting enough that in verse 11 GOD only ask and did not point who should answer. Logically assumed, that the man still knew his purpose as the Ambassador of GOD to the woman. Seeing the man had blamed the woman, the woman then follow the man footstep to blame the serpent. Blame has to be aside somewhere, a very familiar hidden political agenda.
In conclusion, the Bible often pictures GOD as the King, gives commands, indicating the Monarchy – Military governmental bodies. No indication of the Democracy, in the relation that the command is open for arguable discussion topic to favor the subject. And the man as the head of the family is the Ambassador of GOD as the King to the family, the woman and the children. Failure to comply the commands of GOD as the King will be taken as challenging the authority of GOD as the King and punishable by spiritual death, disavowed by GOD, HIS covering over the subject will be removed, then the subject will be subjected to the law of the cursed land.
Regardless the controversies in counting the difference of number of ribs between man and woman, Genesis 2 : 18 – 25 briefly pictures the creation of man and woman including each function. The verses begin with GOD’s statement that it is not good for the man to be alone, to do the work which GOD predestined human to perform as previously described and in correlation with commandment to breed, follow by the act of GOD to create a "suitable" helper, made from man’s rib. The chapter ended with the design of new family which stated that man shall leave his father and mother (interesting statement in relation that the first man and woman was stated to be created and did not relates to any previous genealogy, socially describes as parents) and cleave to his wife.
GOD realized that it is impossible for man, alone, in the specific universe that GOD created, to perform the duty in which GOD has predestined man to undergo, especially in relation of breeding. Then GOD created many other life forms and bring to the man. In this stage alone, the in-dwell characteristics inherited from GOD has perform its task, the Godly creativities, the man named all other life forms one by one. Yet, GOD found that none of them become a "suitable" helper. Then GOD put the man into sleep and perform the very first medical surgery ever recorded in the ancient literatures. At this stage, conclusively, GOD shows HIS working style, to put the man into a condition which best described as [1] a state in which naturally suspend sensory and motor activities while preserving vital organs in minimum life supporting mode, unattached to the awareness of physical surroundings, and maintaining in the condition which is easily reversible to the state of full active. Thus describing that GOD does the works beyond the physical human sensory may be able to perceive, regardless in relation with multiple universes[2]. The process of creating woman, written in the verses, describes that GOD works within the boundaries of law of physics, which GOD has previously created, although it is beyond human perception (condition of sleep).
GOD has chosen that the basic building block of woman is from the man’s rib. Ribs in human physiology constructing rib cage and connected to the bone network structure. The rib cage[3] function as:
1. Forming thoracic (chest) cavity built from bony and cartilaginous structure,
and providing protection to:
- Cardiovascular system (life support elements delivery and balancing system)
- Respiratory system (gas exchange: oxygen intake and carbon dioxide release)
- Digestive system (nutrient retrieval from disintegrated food intake)
- Endocrine glands (hormone factory, the biological information system)
- Nervous system (biological information system receptor and transmitter)
- Lymphatics (conduit networks specialized carrying fluid for cellular life support system).
Rib (as basic building block of woman) gives protection to the elements categorized as core and essentials which functions include (gives functionality pictorial to man):
- Filtration and disintegration of intake elements to retrieve the substances essential for life support system (feeding the family with both physical elements, food, and logical elements, information)
- Producing chain of command by defining information system structure (defining how the intakes will be perceived)
- Maintaining the chain of command by maintaining the flow of information to be easily perceived and executed as intended by other member of the family
- Maintaining balance in the family (love and warmth as functioned by cardiovascular system maintaining the balance of body temperature and nutrient circulatory system)
While the function of the rib itself (gives functionality pictorial to woman):
- Forming the protection and space surrounding the man’s functionalities (providing space for the functionality of man and providing protection from outside influences)
- The rib is built by bony and cartilaginous structure, possess the properties of stiffness, yet maintain its elasticity[4] (maintaining her own integrity together with gentleness)
2. Forming a core portion human skeleton[5] which function as scaffold to support the whole body in straight-up position, as the anchor for muscles, and protection to the organs
It gives the pictorial function of the woman to:
- Support the man in straight-up position
- The anchor for the motoric organs (muscles), gives an origin coordinate to all moving parts to be always anchored home.
- Protect the vital parts of the work of man.
The bone [6] itself covers mechanical, synthetic, and metabolic functions. It gives the pictorial functions of a woman:
1. Mechanical
- Gives protection to the functionalities of man
- Function as a shape of the family, reflected by the appearance of the woman in physical, logical, and spiritual
- Provides a mean of movement as ordered by the internal organ (functionalities of man) through the joints that transfers forces. This applies in physical, logical, and spiritual dimentsions
- Plays important role in mechanical aspect of auditory senses as audio transduction. Woman perceived and propagates other forms of information "unheard" by the man and feed it to the family
2. Synthetic
- Synthesis (produce) the core essential of the life support element: blood. Woman provide what the man (and the family) needs, described as the blood, which properties comprise of delivery system of cellular-level nutrients and oxygen into the cells and deliver waste out from the cells.
3. Metabolic
- Mineral storage. Woman store what is good from nature, essentials for life support system, and store it for the family.
- Growth. Mineralized bones stores and transforming growth factor elements. Woman has in store of anything that support growth for family while maintaining its shape.
- Fatty acid storage. Fatty acid is essentials in human physiology for[7]: immune system, blood pressure, stress control, and inflammation recovery. The woman is needed in time of trouble to keep the family in balance
- Detoxification. Bones may store excessive foreign materials contain in the blood circulation to be later excreted gradually. Woman stores unwanted outside influences that accidentally carried into the family, to be later excreted gradually
- Bones control the phosphate metabolism by releasing Fibroblast Growth Factor – 23 (FGF-23) to reduce phosphate reabsorption by kidneys. FGF-23 works in balancing the cellular life support system. Excessive residual phosphate may contain the unwanted heavy metals, which is needed to be obstructed not to cause reabsorption by kidneys. Woman is needed to control outside influences that propagates into the family by means unaware by man (woman functioned as mechanical part in auditory senses) in which such influences are needed to be controlled not to be reabsorb within the family.
In conclusion, looking in more detail into human physiology, GOD design man and woman to fill-in one another. Man is designed to seek what GOD wants and do the core essential work in preserving information flows and life support system circulatory, while woman provides spatial elements and protection in order to support the work predestined for man. Verse 24 states that the man needs to leave his father and mother and needs to stand on his own providing for the woman (and the family he builds), while the woman fill-in her predestined purpose in providing what the man needs, both man and woman has to function as GOD the Creator intended to be.

"In the beginning …" starts all the content of the Bible. Genesis 1 tells the creation of Heaven and Earth (regardless of the existence of the Earth relative to multiple universe [1] and chronological properties of the Earth itself [2], which will potentially rise many other discussion topic). The creation of Heaven and Earth, which predates everything in the Bible, attracts the studies of how GOD do the initial work.
Project Design
Verse 26 and 27 is the pinnacle, the main reason, of all the creation series, to create the Human in GOD likeness, which objective is to rule over every single thing on Earth, thus reflects the mastership of GOD the creator (regardless the existences and relativities between GOD and Human as viewed in multiple universe [1], which will potentially rise many other discussion topic). According to the function of the creation of Human, GOD creates Human in GOD likeness, inherit the properties of mastership. The design of object Human requires the design of many other elements, one of them is life support system, which is directly related and highly required for self preservation and life continuity of the object Human as described in verses prior to 26. The life support system itself is broken down to many elements:
- The animal functioned as food source for Human (verses 24 and 25), which characterized as capable of domestication and capable of repopulation through breeding (cattle [KJV, Young's Literal Translation) Selection" target="_blank" href="http://biblestore.theinatural.info/?page_id=146">Young's Literal Translation, LITV | Jay P Green Literal Translation, ASV, NASB, Message], domestic animal [Amplified], livestock [NIV])
- The vegetation functioned as food source for Human (verses 29, 11, 12), herb and fruit, which seed is in itself
- The land for human and any other on-land species and the expanse of water for on-land species, which most of the building block properties is water, and the under water species which habitat is water (verse 10)
- The lighting condition for work, which is called day, and for rest, which is called night (verse 5). And the transition between night to day, which is called morning, and between day to night, which is called evening (verses 13, 19, 23)
- The building block to define light from dark, which is the objects that shine lights towards earth that distinctively defines light from dark (verses 14 to 18)
- The building block of temporal properties understood by the created object (verse 14), although perceived through extensive learning.
How GOD design can be conclusively outlined as:
- Define the object wanted to be created including properties, which some may inherited from the creator, enough to undergo the purpose of the creation.
- Define the life support system which is directly related, highly required, and surrounding the created object, then broken down to many elements such as: intake sources and environment condition requirements
- Definition of temporal properties understood by the created object, although later to be perceived through extensive learning.
Project Creation
After the design, GOD defines the current condition and elements to be created, one by one.
- Verse 26 to 31
The main creation is Human, purposely created for mastership, inherited the Creator properties for mastership (in HIS own image and likeness). Main building block and requirement of live support: water, which is vastly available in its origin state (verse 2). Capable of repopulation by breeding. Living environment: on-land.
- Verse 11 to 12, and 24 to 25
As Human’s habitat is on-land, Human requires food intakes, which are comes from animals and vegetation (species inhabited on-land). This food intake must naturally submit to the law of nature, capable of repopulation through breeding. As for vegetation, it is clearly defined that the seed for repopulation is well contained in the vegetation itself, fruits and herb.
- Verse 20 to 23
The expanse of water itself brings forth living creatures, to maintain its own habitat and maintain the balance of the whole Earth
[3].
- Verse 2 to 5, 14 to 19
The lighting condition. The light is an essential element in order to directly give visual perception. It must be clearly distinct from dark and requires smooth transition. The lighting condition also become the chronological definitive. Therefore, the lighting condition requires accessories objects functions as representation objects as well as chronological definitive.
- Verse 6 to 13
Habitat, a place where the species live.
Conclusively, in the design stage, GOD focus and starts from the main purpose (main created object, the end expected result), then go through one by one backwards on the life support system, (elements to support the continuity of created object, self replicated and abundance in supply), chronological definitive elements (understood by the created object, although later to be perceived through extensive learning), and the habitat issues (spatial properties to support the continuity and life span of the created object).
Project Execution
- Verse 2
Earth without form, formless, void, empty, dark, and full of water. Then it requires the physical work to transform the current condition to the desired condition. Therefore, some substance, which is originated from the Creator and has the physical capacity to do the work, is sent forth to the created timespace domain.
- Verse 3 and 4
To do work, light is a mandatory element. Light instantly cast away darkness, and make things clearly see.
- Verse 5
Although light is necessary, it is needed to be clearly define distinctively from darkness. GOD distinct light from dark to define working and resting hours.
- Verse 6 to 8
Preliminary condition stated that the Earth condition is wholly covered with water and there was the presence of light and dark. However, Human requires dry land, and the nature requires self preservation, while the main design and creation is solely based on water as one of the main elements of life support system. Therefore, interestingly, Genesis 1 informs that the initial design of Earth is the expanse of water was separated, the one at above (sky) and the one on below, thus depicting the presence of above ocean and below ocean, and yet, after the separation process, the creation of dry land has not been executed yet. The process set the stage for creation of dry land, atmospheric shielding, and environmental control and self preservation.
- Verse 9 and 10
The water expanse beneath the sky was separated to make dry lands appear. Setting the stage for on-land habitat and underwater habitat.
- Verse 11 to 13
Upon the appearance of dry lands, the habitat is populated by vegetation, which setting the stage as source of food for other upcoming species.
- Verse 14 to 19
Before the creation of Human was executed, GOD executed the creation of the sky objects as both the representation objects and the chronological definitive, which later will be understood by Human, although later to be perceived through extensive learning.
- Verse 20 to 23
The water habitat needed to be populated by living creature to maintain its synergy, as water needs to sustain the continuity of the both dry lands habitat and underwater habitat [3]. Later on, human discover the chemical balance of ocean as the result of total synergy of underwater habitat, relative to the law of natural physics, creates total synergy of atmospheric balance to maintain continuity life on Earth.
- Verse 24 to 25
After the stage was set, which are: expanse of water above which was functioned as atmospheric shielding, dry lands appear, vegetation as source of food for on-land species had been grown, underwater habitat maintains synergy for the continuity life on Earth; then the creation of source of food for Human and on-land animals were executed. The animals were divided as the domestication capable and wild. The wild is to maintain the continuity of vegetation supplies.
- Verse 26 to 31 (end)
The creation of Human was executed. In HIS own image and likeness, inherit the properties of GOD, to function the work of mastership of the entire Earth. Human as well capable of repopulation.
Conclusively, the execution of creation process starts from current condition, using vastly available resources as the main elements, creating the balance to maintain the main element of life support system, preparing the stage step by step (divided water beneath and above, make dry lands appear, populate the dry lands with vegetation as the main source of food, make the ocean naturally preserved by creating underwater lifeforms, make the on-land habitat naturally preserved by creating wild animal and domestication capable animals for source of food), then the pinnacle creation of human is executed. In all the processes, the elements of self preservation and repopulation involving many other life support system elements, are well maintained. Moreover, the created object is inherited the characteristic of the creator in order to successfully undergo the work pre-destined to do: mastership.
Regardless the objects to be created, both physical and logical, the design processes conclusively focus on end result and draw specification of the life support system surrounding the created objects. The creation processes capture the details of both the created objects and the life support system in relation to the current physical specification, and works backwards from the desired end result to the current physical condition. The execution processes are solely physical work from the current physical condition to the desired end result.

The whole chapter of Proverbs 8 is about “wisdom” and “understanding”, which place “herself” to be appeared and easily sought, as described in Proverbs 8:2: on the top of high places, at the intersection, thus describes along the way until reach confusion, a point where decision to be made, one single option out of many should be chosen (intersection, where the paths meet). The next verses are about commands to embrace both wisdom and understanding (1 to 12), how wisdom and understanding have made kings and rulers to govern justly (13 to 21), the born and beginning of wisdom and understanding starts before the time began, with GOD HIMself (22 to 31), the consequences of embracing and declining wisdom and understanding (32 to 36).
Verses 35 and 36 dictates the consequences of embracing and declining wisdom respectively. Since the beginning of the chapter, “wisdom” is tied together with “understanding”, and in the verse 12 dictates in the translation (KJV, Amplified, Young’s Literal Translation, ASV, NASB, NIV) that “wisdom” dwells together with “prudence”. The whole chapter depicts the mandatory decision to be made to choose “wisdom”, upon failing to comply will result as the verse 36 has written, all other options are eliminated.
The “wisdom“, although no standardized definition involving any technicalities, the compilation works regarding “wisdom” defines as the synergy of integrated knowledge in assessing certain matter in purpose of achieving positive outcome as beneficial as possible for the greater purpose where many entities involves. Thus involving complex detail especially in the relation of multiple knowledge to produce the outcome as purposed.
The “understanding” faces the similar difficulties regarding standardized definition which involving any technicalities, however, the compilation works regarding “understanding” defines the ability to define technical measurement of one matter (matter in both physical and logical properties). Thus involving extensive studies to define the matter in whole which includes the reaction given in response of multiple external elements impacted.
Interesting enough to closely watch the verse 12, which relate “wisdom” (not the other) with “prudence”. As well as “wisdom” and “understanding”, “prudence” has not yet standardized defines. The compilation works regarding “Prudence” defines as exercising judgments based on “understanding” of interconnected matter in purpose of achieving “wisdom”. Hence as the verse 12 stated that “wisdom” dwells together with “prudence”, based on previous definitions, “prudence” is the entities relating “knowledge” to achieve wholeness, which commonly known as “wisdom”. Verses 22 to 31 clearly states the origins of wisdom which together with GOD the Creator of all things, suggests that the search of wisdom begins with GOD, therefore the “wisdom” attained will be exercised as GOD the Creator intended to be
